Troubleshooting
Lid feels loose
Ensure the silicone or rubber seal (if present) is seated correctly, or ensure no debris is trapped in the rim of the canister.
Bamboo lid looks dull
Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a coat of food-grade bamboo or mineral oil to restore the luster.
Stains on the enamel finish
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of baking soda and water to gently buff away residue; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your biscuit tin lasts for years, follow these care instructions:
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the interior and exterior with a clean, damp cloth. Do not submerge the bamboo lid in water.
- Hand-washing Only: The enamel container should be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive sponges that may scratch the printed scenes.
- Lid Maintenance: Periodically treat the bamboo lid with food-safe mineral oil to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.
- Placement: Store away from direct heat sources, such as stovetops, to prevent the bamboo from warping or the enamel finish from yellowing.
